    My female.cat won’t use the litter box. I had 4 between 2 cats and.clean it daily, but she suffered abuse and has a front.paw that hurts so I thinl she can’t balance well on the littler. I now use dog pads for pee and poop inside the box and she loves it

      That’s sad. Some people suck. You are a good person to care for her.

      I know I’ve heard that cats with like arthritis will refuse to use a litterbox along with cats who have been declawed. Any paw discomfort I guess makes the litter uncomfortable? Nothing wrong with pee pads!

        My cat has hyperthesia and overly sensitive paws, and she used to leap out of the litter box to finish frequently. Our vet suggested we try a gentler litter and it worked! We got a “soft paws” formula litter and it helped a ton.
